We have partial and full scholarships available upon request based on family need and/or financial hardships. You will be able to apply for a scholarship during the registration process.
In order to apply for a scholarship, please complete the scholarship questions on the application AND email us a copy of your most recent federal tax return (the first 2 pages) or your most recent award letter to verify your family income. Our email address is [email protected]. Scholarship requests will NOT be reviewed if we have not received your financial documentation.
Swimming activities are conducted at the ranch ponds, or at the ranch custom swimming pool. Campers are supervised by camp counselors trained in CPR and First Aid during swimming activities. There is no certified lifeguard on duty at the camp. Any camper roughhousing and/or demonstrating a disregard for safety, whether swimming in ponds or pool, the camper could lose his/her swimming privileges for the rest of the day or revoked for the remainder of the camp.
Drop off time is Sunday at 4:00 PM.
Please DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 3:45 PM as we use that time to finish setting up for camp.
Pick up time is Thursday at 1:00 PM.
An awards ceremony will be held at approximately 12:30 PM on Thursday.
Parents are invited to attend the awards ceremony but it is not a requirement.
The Address is 18875 Red Bank Road in Red Bluff CA 96080.
The ranch is located approximately 5.7 miles west of the Red Bluff airport.
There is a wide gravel driveway with a ranch gate that says “Red Bank Ale & Quail” on your left.
The cell reception is spotty on the drive out to the ranch so please map your directions before you leave home.
Campers are very active during their stay at camp and writing letters or sending postcards is difficult. Don’t expect to receive any correspondence from your child. They are having a great time. We discourage mail being sent to campers during their short stay with us because we will not likely receive that mail until after the camper has left for home.
Landline number: (530)529-9627 or (530)529-9435
Please do not supply your child with food, chewing gum, candy, etc. for their stay at camp. We provide ample, balanced meals, a light snack, and canteen sessions (see Camp Canteen). If campers have food in their cabin, they tend to eat it right before a meal, and uneaten food attracts ants and mice. It can also create hard feelings among the other campers and is a headache for the counselors.
Please let us know if your camper has a food allergy or restricted diet.
- Knives
- Candy/Food
- Any lighting device with a flame
- Flashlights
- Fireworks

- Cell Phones and Smart Watches
Please leave all electronic devices behind. If a camper is found to have an electronic device during their stay, it will be confiscated. We want the kids to interact with each other while at camp and we will not make exceptions to this rule. There is no cell phone service at camp so we will have a landline available in case of emergencies. If you need to reach your child you will be able to call the landline, and if we need to reach you for some reason regarding your child we will call from that landline as well. But we do advise parents not to call unless there is something important. Frequent calls actually make it harder for any child who is homesick. And one thing to remember is if you don’t hear from your child, that means they are having a great time at camp!
